The mandatory training levy that employers have to pay to CITB ConstructionSkills, when their salary bill is over a set threshold, will remain in place for another three years.  The threshold for staff salaries and payments to labour only subcontractors remains at £80k and the levy rate remains at 0.5% on payments to directly employed workers and 1.5% on payments to labour only subcontractors.  A Small Business Levy Reduction will be introduced for employers whose salary bill is between £80-100k and they will receive a 50% reduction on their levy payments.   See
